Ventress, LA population, income and ZIP codes

Ventress CDP is a small town in Louisiana, with 1,325 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #243 of 489 ranked by population — larger than 50% of them. The median age here is 48.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Ventress CDP earn a median of $70,144 a year, 10.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 30% above the $53,775 median for the 268 Louisiana cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 6.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Ventress CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 75.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Ventress CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
